> a) I am out of rack rails. I am revising the rack screw 'ear' dimension
> 0.050 wider to allow metric screws to fit without having to file. I am
> also
> going to look at a new vendor (if possible) to reduce lead-time. This

> allow me to stock 50pr -75pr batches at a time.

> b) June is ∗very limited∗ for MOTM time (only the weekends). I am
> taking off
> 11 days in a row in early July to ship ∗every∗ kit on order (I did
> finish
> the '440s and '320s kitting yesterday) and to ship assembled modules on
> order. In the recent 4 'ship days' 27 orders have gone out. The order
> backlog is approaching the lowest point in 7 years. I have the
> 190/700/300/480/820 kits left to make up. This will take up about 5 of
> the
> 11 available days. 2 full days will be packing kit orders, leaving 4

> assembly.

> c) I still need to set up the CA3280 testing for the '480 VCF. I have
> like 7
> assembled '480s on order but I need to run the parts through to check
> for
> gain. I think I may have 1 date code with out-of-spec gm. This is the

> d) Bourns is now letting me order 50pcs of the log pots in the '800 EG
> now
> (instead of a 500pc minimum) but the lead time is 10 weeks (well, for
> 500pcs
> it's 16 weeks and they take ∗every day∗ of that 16 weeks). I will be
> able to
> have the '800 Extra Parts Kits in the cart in mid-August when I get
> them.
> The ones I have left are "spoken for" in assembled modules.
